CreateActivation

Registers your on-premises server or virtual machine with Amazon EC2 so that you can
manage these
resources using Run Command. An on-premises server or virtual machine that has been
registered
with EC2 is called a managed instance. For more information about activations, see
Setting Up AWS Systems Manager for Hybrid
Environments.

Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. Tags enable you to categorize a resource
in
different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might
want to tag an
activation to identify which servers or virtual machines (VMs) in your on-premises
environment
you intend to activate. In this case, you could specify the following key name/value
pairs:

Key=OS,Value=Windows

Key=Environment,Value=Production

Important

When you install SSM Agent on your on-premises servers and VMs, you specify an activation
ID and code. When you specify the activation ID and code, tags assigned to the activation
are
automatically applied to the on-premises servers or VMs.

You can't add tags to or delete tags from an existing activation. You can tag your
on-premises servers and VMs after they connect to Systems Manager for the first time
and are assigned a
managed instance ID. This means they are listed in the AWS Systems Manager console
with an ID that is
prefixed with "mi-". For information about how to add tags to your managed instances,
see AddTagsToResource. For information about how to remove tags from your managed
instances, see RemoveTagsFromResource.
